GUWAHATI: The political tussle that has broken out between the Congress and its Grand Alliance partner AIUDF over seat-sharing for the upcoming assembly election in the state, especially in minority-dominated areas in lower Assam, has made the grand old party scurry for peace with an assurance that a common minimum programme would be worked out soon.
The party held a closed door meeting in a city hotel on Tuesday evening with all the allies AIUDF, CPI-ML (Liberation) and the Anchalik Gana Morcha (AGM) leaders, with the objective of rolling out the final seat-sharing arrangements. Left parties, CPI, CPM and CPI-ML (Liberation) are also keen to get the seat-sharing issue sorted by mid-February.
